Once there was the promise of you-
and now in the blink of an eye
I went from holding you in my arms
a few minutes old
to standing beside you-
13 years old.
The journey that has brought us from then to now
has been one of unexpected detours
and changes in direction.
Not following the expected course-
we’re learning together.
Shared steps on an altered path
I treasure every moment-
knowing that I was meant to be your mom.
Wishing all moms a very happy Mother’s Day!
Blessings,
Sheryl Brooks
